Comcast describes racist, genocidal murderer as "Arizona Activist" |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-15-11 12:16 AM by Orrex
Shawna Ford, convicted for her role in the outright murder of a nine year old girl and her 29-year-old father, is described in Comcast's news-feed headline as an "Arizona Activist," as if she were a martyr campaigning against fracking or some other activism.
I've read disgusting, misleading headlines before, but this one really takes the cake.

If a Mexican woman had broken into a caucasian family's home to kill the occupants and steal money and drugs to fund her border crusade, how do you suppose Comcast would have framed the story?

7. Or, in contrast, to make the activities of racist murderers seem more legitimate |

Either way, it's pretty grotesque.
